FAQ
Is a daisy granny square hard for beginners?
It’s a small step up from a plain granny square. The petals usually use clusters, puffs, or popcorns, which are just several stitches worked into one spot. If you can make a classic granny square and a magic ring, you can make most daisy squares. Start with a pattern that has step photos or video.
What colors look best for daisy granny squares?
The classic look is a yellow center, white petals, and a soft background like sage, pink, or light blue. Cotton gives crisp petals. For a modern twist, try mustard and cream on a rust or navy background. Keep the background the same on every square so the blanket looks tidy.
How many daisy squares do I need for a blanket?
It depends on square size. With 4-inch squares, a 30 x 36 inch baby blanket needs about 63 squares (7 across, 9 down). With 12-inch squares, you only need 6 for a baby blanket or 12 for a throw. Make one square first and measure it before planning.
